Learning Objectives |
In this tutorial, we will learn to,
|
Slide Number 3
Pre-requisites |
To follow this tutorial, you should know how to create and edit molecular models in Jmol Application.
If not, watch the relevant tutorials available at our website. |
Slide Number 4
System Requirement |
To record this tutorial, I am using
|
Cursor on Jmol panel | I have opened a new Jmol application window. |
Cursor on Jmol panel | Let us first create a model of cyclohexane. |
Click on the modelkit icon in the tool bar | Click on modelkit menu.
A model of methane appears on the panel. |
Cursor on Jmol panel | To create cyclohexane, we have to make a hydrocarbon chain of six carbon atoms. |
Cursor on methane. | We will substitute the hydrogen in the model with a methyl group. |
Cursor on the hydrogen of the methane.
Click on the hydrogen. |
To do so, we will place the cursor on the hydrogen and click on it.
This is a model of ethane on screen |
Cursor on the Ethane molecule >> Click on hydrogen. | Repeat this step another 2 times and replace one hydrogen at a time with a methyl group.
Click on the hydrogens in such a way that the structure forms a circle. |
Click on Rotate molecule tool and rotate the model. | Now, rotate the structure on screen using the Rotate molecule tool. |
Cursor on the butane structure | This is the structure of butane on the panel.
|
Click on hydrogen at the end of the chain. | Click on hydrogen on any of the carbon atoms present at the end of the chain. |
Cursor on pentane structure. | Here is a model of pentane on the panel. |
Cursor on hydrogen atom. | Click on one of the hydrogens, that is close to the end of the carbon chain. |
Cursor on Cyclohexane. | A model of cyclohexane is created on the panel. |
Click on minimize option in the modelkit menu | Use minimize option in the modelkit menu to optimize the structure. |
Cursor on the panel. | The model of Cyclohexane is now, in its most stable “chair” conformation. |
Open modelkit menu and scroll down to Drag to bond option. | Alternately, we can also use Drag to bond option in modelkit menu to create cyclic structures. |
Cursor on the panel. | I will use a model of pentane to demonstrate this feature. |
Open new Jmol window with pentane structure.
Open modelkit menu and check against Drag to bond option. |
This is a model of pentane on the panel.
|
Click on carbon at one end of the chain. | Place the cursor on the carbon present at one end of the chain.
Hold down the mouse button. |
Bring the cursor to other end of the chain and click on the carbon. | Without releasing the mouse button, bring the cursor to the carbon present at the other end of the chain.
Now release the mouse button. |
Cursor on the panel | We have a model of cyclopentane on the panel. |
Cursor on the panel | Now Let us go back to the Jmol panel with the model of cyclohexane. |
Cursor on Cyclohexane. | Let us now convert cyclohexane to a benzene ring.
We have to introduce double bonds at alternate positions in the cyclohexane ring. |
Click on “modelkit” icon. | Open the modelkit menu. |
Click on the bond between two carbon atoms. | Place the cursor on the bond between any two carbon atoms and click on it. |
Cursor on cyclohexene. | We now have cyclohexene on the panel. |
Cursor on the panel. | Next, we need to introduce two more double bonds in the structure, to convert it to benzene. |
Click on the bond between next two carbon atoms >> Repeat the above step. | Click on the bond between the next two alternate carbon atoms.
We have a model of benzene on the panel. |
Cursor on Benzene. | Do the energy minimization to get a stable conformation. |
Cursor on panel | Surface topology of the molecules can be displayed by using Jmol Application.
To view different surfaces, open the pop-up menu. Ensure that the modelkit menu is closed if it is open. |
Right click to open Pop-up-menu | Now, right-click on the panel, to open the Pop-up menu. |
Scroll down to “Surfaces” | Scroll down and select “Surfaces”.
|
Select “Molecular Surface”. | For demonstration purpose, I will select Molecular surface. |
Cursor on Benzene. | The model of Benzene is displayed with a molecular surface. |
Right click to open Pop-up-menu.
scroll down to 'Surfaces' |
Let us change it to another surface, say, Dot Surface. |
Click on Solvent accessible surface. | So, open the Pop-up menu again, and choose Dot Surface. |
Cursor on the panel. | We can also make the surfaces opaque or translucent. |
Right click to open Pop-up-menu >> Select 'Surfaces' Scroll down >> Click on 'Make Opaque' | To do so, open the Pop-up menu again, choose Surfaces and select Make Opaque option.
|
Right click to open Pop-up-menu. Scroll down to “Surfaces”. | To turn off the surface option, open the Pop-up menu and choose Surfaces. |
Click on “Off”. | scroll down to Off and click on it.
Now we have a model of benzene without any surfaces. <<Pause>> |
Cursor on Jmol panel. | Jmol can display atomic and molecular orbitals of molecules. |
Cursor on Jmol panel. | Atomic orbitals can be displayed on screen by writing commands on the console. |
Click on file option in the menu bar.
|
Open a new Jmol window by clicking on File and New. |
Scroll down the options in the 'File' menu.
Click on 'Console' option. |
Now open the console window by clicking on File and then on Console. |
Cursor on the console. | The console window opens on the screen.
I am using Kmag Screen magnifier to magnify the console window. |
On the console, at the $ prompt, type:
isosurface phase atomicorbital |
The command line for atomic orbitals starts with isosurface phase atomicorbital.
At the $ prompt type isosurface phase atomicorbital. This is followed by quantum numbers n. l and m that are specific for each atomic orbital. |
Type: 2 0 0 | To display 's' orbital. type 2 0 0
|
Press Enter key | Press Enter key to execute the command.
|
Cursor on the console. | Here are few more examples of atomic orbitals and the corresponding script commands. |
Cursor on the console.
Press up arrow key on the keyboard. |
The command line is same for all atomic orbitals.
|
Delete 2 0 0 and type 2 1 1 | Edit n, l and m numbers to 2 1 1. |
Press Enter key. | Press Enter key and see the 'px' orbital on the Jmol panel. |
Press up arrow key on the keyboard. | Press up arrow key again and edit n, l and m to 3 2 and -1. |
Press enter key. | Press Enter key and see the 'dxy' orbital on the Jmol panel. |
Cursor on the panel. | We can also save these images in different file formats like jpg, png or pdf. |
Slide Number 5
Script commands for Atomic Orbitals. |
Here is a list of commands for all atomic orbitals (s, p, d, and f). |
Slide Number 6
Types of Atomic Orbitals |
Shown on this slide are models of atomic orbitals.
They were created with the help of script commands written on the console. |
Cursor on the panel. | Here I have opened a new Jmol panel and console to show how to display molecular orbitals.
|
Click on modelkit mode. | We have a model of methane on the panel. |
Cursor on methane. | Methane has molecular orbitals of the type sp3. |
Slide number 7
Molecular Orbitals |
Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals (LCAO) method is used to create molecular orbitals.
So, the command line starts with 'lcaocartoon', followed by create and the name of the orbital.
|
Type lcaocartoon create sp3a
|
At the dollar prompt type lcaocartoon create sp3
|
Cursor on the Jmol panel. | Observe the model of methane with sp3 hybridized molecular orbitals. |
Cursor on Jmol panel. | To display sp2 hybridized molecular orbitals, we will take ethene as an example. |
Use “Open a file” option in the tool bar to open model of ethene. | This is a molecule of ethene on the panel. |
Cursor on the panel | Ethene molecule has three sp2 hybridized molecular orbitals. They are named sp2a, sp2b and sp2c. |
Type lcaocartoon create sp2a | At the $ prompt type lcaocartoon create sp2a and press Enter.
Observe the sp2 orbital on the ethene model on the panel. |
Press the up arrow key. | Press up arrow key and change sp2a to sp2b, press Enter. |
Press the up arrow key. | Again, press up arrow key and change sp2b to sp2c, press Enter. |
Press the up arrow key. | Finally for the pi bond, edit the name of the orbital as pz. |
Rotate the model. | On the panel, we have ethene molecule with all the molecular orbitals. |
